The Woodpecker Nest Box

Our nest box for woodpeckers offers market leading quality, durability and great value for money. Handmade in our UK workshops
from high grade 21mm PEFC Western Red Cedar (responsibly sourced) this woodpecker box design follows guidelines suggested by the RSPB. The nestbox hole is 45mm which has only been partly drilled, there are 4 drain holes in the bird box floor. The front and top panels are screwed for ease of
cleaning out which is recommended to be in the months of September and October. A quick release mounting bracket holds the camera in the optimum position, this also allows for ease of camera transfer
between other gardenature nest boxes and viewcam feeder products if required. This woodpecker bird box with camera offers you a top down view of the nesting chamber, so you will be right there in the
nest getting to know the chicks!

The Camera

This Sony EFFIO CCD Ultra High Resolution 700TVL (TV Line) Camera has been designed specifically for use with Gardenature
camera nest boxes and feeder camera kits. This truly outstanding bird box camera uses an intelligent Sony Effio DSP
Chip which operates with a Super Light Sensor to cleverly adjust the image quality to suit its environment. Not only this,
the light sensor also serves to adjust the x10 infrared night vision LED's to a graduating on/off, gently supplementing
loss or gain of natural light levels with an invisible IR. The result of this outstanding technology is that we can now produce
ultra high resolution colour images in full light of day and sharp black and white images at night or low light level conditions. This nest box camera
also incorporates a highly sensitive microphone so you can hear as well as see what's going on. The camera has a 3.6mm HD1080p lens which produces a 92 degree viewing angle, the perfect setup for a nest box. The lens will have already been pre-focused to
the correct position for you, but it can very easily be adjusted to suit alternative applications.

The Rest of the System

A professional x3 core cable (Audio/Video/12vDC) is already connected to the camera in the roof of the nest box, the other end of the cable needs to be routed into your property. The cable plugs are black, yellow and white.
The black is for mains power and connects to the (supplied)12V DC power adapter / plug. The remaining RCA yellow (video) and white (audio) connectors can either plug into a spare AV/AUX
socket on your TV, / DVD recorder, or a spare TV scart input using the (supplied) scart adapter. Switch on at the mains plug, then select the appropriate AV channel on your TV, sit back and wait for the show to start! All very easy but if you need any help we are just a phone call away.

Woodpecker Facts - BTO

Great Spotted Woodpeckers are about the same size as Starlings. They are common birds of parkland and woodland but often
feed in gardens. Great Spotted Woodpecker juveniles have red foreheads that are replaced by black as they moult in the
autumn. Adult males then have a red nape but females have no red on their head at all and all these differences in plumage
are easy to see.

Although attractive, Great Spotted Woodpeckers can make themselves unpopular by drilling holes in nest boxes and eating young
birds. To get them to use nest boxes you need to put a lump of soft wood inside, so that they can hollow out the nest
cavity for themselves. The male sits on the nest at night and a female may well use a near-by nest box to roost in.
